My intellectual debts to those who have contributed, some of them unknowingly, to the shaping of this book are too heavy to enumerate in full. I wish particularly, however, to record obligations which date from student days in Oxford to a remarkable group of Balliol tutors: Paul Streeten, Thomas Balogh and Patrick Corbett. I should also like to express my thanks to three colleagues in Wesleyan University’s College of Social Studies: E. O. Golob, L. O. Mink and E. J. Nell, who have read and commented on portions of the manuscript. None of the above should be incriminated for the shortcomings of the final product.
I wish to thank the following: Macmillan & Co Ltd, London, Harcourt, Brace and World, Inc, New York, and the trustees of the estate of the late Lord Keynes for permission to quote from John Maynard Keynes The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money: Macmillan & Co Ltd, London, and Crowell-Collier and Macmillan Inc, New York, for permission to quote from Alfred Marshall’s Principles of Economics and Money, Credit and Commerce.
